Ken Sio, Mitchell Allgood and Kelepi Tanginoa expected to be available for selection.
For me this is the most important game of the season, lose this and we bundle out of finals contention pretty much.
1. Jarryd Hayne
2. Semi Radradra
3. William Hopoate
4. Vai Toutai
5. Ken Sio
6. Corey Norman
7. Chris Sandow
8. Tim Mannah
9. Isaac De Gois
10. Junior Paulo
11. Kenny Edwards
12. Tepai Moeroa
13. Joseph Paulo
14. Mitch Allgood
15. David Gower
16. Peni Terepo
17. Darcy Lussick
18. Ryan Morgan
19. Ben Smith
Ryan Morgan is a fraud who doesn't know the rugby league fundamentals.
Ben Smith is a good defender but useless in attack, we need someone who can do both.

Morgan had one of his better games on friday against Lyon
No changes from last week except if Ma'u if he is ready
We're getting into some dangerous territory...teamlists add absolutely nothing to this forum!
Please stop!!
Nah miatch wasn't the worst offender. The worst offender - by the length of the straight - was Pugger!!
He had nothing to contribute other than, "What is your team for this week? Mine is...1.Hayne, 2. Semi, etc.."
Ryan Morgan has his strengths, i.e. hole running, good swerve, good pace, and he has his weaknesses - lack of passing ability, lack of vision for his outside/inside support players.
He also isn't big enough to bust the line, but he is a traditional centre. He reminds me very much of Stuart Kelly, who I always thought was a quality player for us.
The young'uns these days only rate explosive power centres who can smash through the opposition like an Inglis, Hodges, etc, however, I recall the elusiveness of Steve Ella, the class of Cronin, the creativity of Gene Miles and the lightening speed of Renouf.
There are different styles of centre and they're equally valid. My great criticism of the modern game is how formulaic it is and Regina's comments reinforce the current view that there is only 'one way' to play the game.
If that were true, SK would have been proven correct in his attempts to implant the Storm style at Parra, whereas I think most people think that the Eels brand is a more organic style of football.
It's no wonder why pundits across the footy landscape are singing the Eels' praises for bringing a sense of fun back into the game.
What is this obsession people here have about Toutai playing centre? He's never played there in 1st grade & every time he's played there in Wenty they've been thrashed. The only time I've ever seen him pass the ball was in the stuffed up 40/20 restart. If he lets in a zillion tries playing wing then only goes to reason he'll let in two zillion playing centre!
The only changes would be if Sio & Ma'u are available for Toutai & Smith respectively.
